MockingbirdA Poem by Marie Anzalonehomework assignment #2 written on the them windDisoriented in the night, like a small winged flying thing I throw myself into the sky, at the mercy of air masses and condensation points; temperature differentials and I am neither completely here nor not here; I am somewhere only I can find me. I am at once your mythical lover and my own compass point, I am the sound of thirty one mockingbirds singing the songs of thirty one other birds and also the silence of a volcano biding its time. At these times I can only remember one thing- I close my eyes, and fly into to the highest point where there is a convergence of sorrow and lightning. Each time so far, the winds have then brought me back, to you. © 2019 Marie AnzaloneAuthor's Note
